Just thought I would give my two cents on some recent purchases off Amazon.

 

Adventure Medical Kits: Emergency Bivy

great item to keep in your car especially if you get stranded on a cold night. Typical tinfoil material found in all emergency blankets but in a bivy form. comes rolled up in a pull cord bad the size of a tennis ball.

i think it was $13 and i will buy another one. Plenty of reviews on Youtube.

 

Spyderco Tenacious:

Wow, great value knife. i always bought the cheap Remington ones for $10 bucks at Walmart, but it is nice to have a quality knife. I seem to give one away each year...daughter's boyfriend, nephew, guy at work. this one I am not giving away. Very good value IMO. Also love my Mora knife but do not carry it.

 

5.11 Tactical: Short Sleeve Covert Shirt - Select

i am 5'11 188lbs. Bought medium and fits great...it looks nice too.

i bought black. Conceals G23 in Kholster at 4:00 nicely. Materially is not that heavy to me...others on internet disagree.

the extension room for your arms is not good...maybe i need a large. I would expect a different seam pattern around armpits...if possible, sort of like karate pants in the croch area.

the hidden inside pockets at chest level are good for some cash and other thin items but i won't use them.

the side flaps (3 & 6 o'clock) with velcro are useless for drawing IMO. In fact, I find it more likely to get caught up on the gun.

The reason I bought it was for the snap buttons made to look like traditional shirt buttons. I saw a video where a guy slid his hand in the bottom 2 or 3, unsnapped them easily, then swept the shirt back and had a nice one hand draw. Well, the snaps are stubborn. Does not seem to be working...breakout the WD-40 ? Hmm, nah.

I will wear the shirt, but not when I carry. I prefer many of the similar style shirts I already have.

I'm a little confuzzled here.

when wearing the shirt in normal situations (walkings, arms down) the shirt fits food and the fit also looks good. when i shoot i pretty much extend my arms at full length and i was trying to make the point it feels tight when fully extending the arms.
